Setting up the trap.

The spring traps are best applied in places where you observe the birds you want to catch as they collect their foods. It is practical to rake up the surface soil and to camouflage the bottom part or whole trap at the place you want to set it.

Live meal worm (larva of Tenebrio molitor) is usually used as a bait.
